Great ideas move quickly, and the tools you use should keep pace. Fender Studio Motion 16 transforms in-the-box production into a hands-on creative experience, combining 16 RGB polyphonic touch pads, a color display, nine illuminated encoders and expressive touch strips into a compact controller built for musicians who want direct control over their sessions. Designed to work with any DAW while offering deep Fender Studio Pro integration, Motion 16 brings Timeline navigation, session control and instant access to instruments and effects into reach, helping you record, edit and perform with less friction and more feel. Lastly, Smart Scale and Smart Chords further expand creative range, and the included perpetual Fender Studio Pro license means you can start making music right out of the box.

Dynamic Touch Pads and Touch Strips for Expressive Control

Motion 16 is designed to respond naturally to the way musicians play. The 16 RGB polyphonic touch pads translate velocity and nuance into expressive performance control, making them ideal for finger drumming, sample triggering and melodic ideas across any DAW. Touch strips add another layer of interaction, giving you an intuitive way to shape movement and modulation in real time while keeping your workflow fluid and performance-focused.

Integrated Session Control Across Fender Studio Pro and Other DAWs

Rather than breaking concentration to manage software menus, Motion 16 places essential session controls directly under your hands. Timeline navigation and transport functions work across major DAWs, with deeper integration available in Fender Studio Pro. The Add button offers immediate access to virtual instruments, audio tracks and effects, helping ideas develop faster by reducing interruptions and keeping your focus on shaping sound instead of managing software.

Illuminated Encoders and Smart Tools That Support Musical Exploration

Nine illuminated encoders provide precise parameter control with clear visual feedback, making it easier to adjust sounds as a session evolves. Smart Scale and Smart Chords simplify harmonic exploration and unlock more than 30 chord progressions to experiment with, whether you are sketching ideas or refining arrangements. Paired with broad DAW compatibility and the included perpetual Fender Studio Pro license, Motion 16 delivers a complete, ready-to-create controller that supports confident, inspired music-making from the first session forward.
